Hi I've recently downloaded C&C remastered on Origin but seem to be restricted to only a few structures, four infantrymen and three motorised units. I've deployed the mcv, barracks, war factory, power stations etc but nothing else seems to open, eg helipad, repair pad etc. Any help please?
Sorry, my mistake. It's C&C Remastered with the original C&C and RA (don't know where I got RA3 from!). I'm having a problem with C&C Skirmish - I can only build the basic structures and nothing more. Power Plant, Sandbags, Refinery, Barracks, Guard Tower, Weapons Factory, Comm Centre, Silo and Adv Guard Tower. In the infantry I don't have any medics.
So, are you talking about the original C&C, or about Red Alert? The tech trees are different in the two games, and are different between the two sides in each game, too.
From what you say there, I'm assuming this is C&C1, GDI side.
If you click the Help button on the main menu, you will end op on the EA help page for the Remaster, which contains a link to a guide to get started. There, under "Gameplay basics", you can see the full tech trees for all four sides.
(There are some minor inaccuracies; Orca / Attack Heli don't really require the infantry production building, the Harvester requires the refinery, not the Barracks, and the guide kind of makes it seem like the Barracks produces the APC, while that's obviously done by the vehicle factory)
C&C1 does not contain medics; those are only available in Red Alert, to the Allies side.
Thanks for that, I really appreciate your help with this. I’ve had a look at the tree structure for C&C1 GDI and the ones I don’t get are: repair facility, helipad, adv comm ctr, ion cannon.
Really sorry about this. I'm playing C&C skirmish but can't see a tech level slider anywhere. I've looked in Options but nothing.
I found the slider but only after I'd started a skirmish and then saved the game and re-loaded it. They're all greyed out so I can't change anything. I understand I have to be online for the licence to be checked but I don't want to play online players, just a private game against AI.
Thank you so much, that's brilliant. By the way (last question I promise!) do you know how to set waypoints please?
Do you mean for units, or for production structures? In RA, you can make units move through waypoints by holding down Q when giving commands, but that can't be used for production structures.
Tiberian Dawn has no waypoint functionality at all, except internally for scripting the paths for AI attacks.
